a new poll shows a widening gap between the president and front-runner mitt romney. 53% of americans now express favorable views of mr. obama, but that number dropped to 34% for mitt romney. the lowest for any leading presidential candidate in our poll since 1984. definitely teeter-totter in the polls. of course that poll was taken before romney's appearance on "the tonight show" last night where he did his best to show his more personal side. he focused on rival rick santorum's recent dust-up with a reporter. saying that his white house santorum would make a good press secretary. romney didn't even mention his other rival, newt gingrich whose campaign is struggling. gingrich is laying off about a third of his staff, including his campaign manager. he will focus more on getting the word out over youtube, twitter and other social media. gingrich plans to call delegates personally, hoping to get their support at the republican convention this summer. >> money running a little low. >>> in other news this morning, trayvon martin's parents took their case to lawmakers on capitol hill. the
